Olios naturalisticus Chamberlin, 1924 : 659 , fig. 101 ( Holotype female from southeastern corner of Tiburon Island [ 28°46’N , 112°16’W ], Baja California, Mexico , deposited in CAS 1441, examined; one immature female paratype from Patos Island [ 48°47’N , 122°57’W ], Baja California, Mexico , deposited in MCZ 1210, examined).

Rheims 2010c : 534 (Syn.). Olios foxi Roewer, 1951 : 477 (replacement name for O. abnormis Keyserling, 1884 , preoccupied by Blackwall 1866 , sub Sparassus ). Rheims 2010c : 533 . Note. The specific name “ abnormis ” is herein reinstated following ICZN (2000, article 59.3), according to which a junior homonym, replaced before 1961, should not be rejected if the relevant taxa are no longer considered congeneric.

Males of C. abnormis comb. nov. are easily distinguished from the other species of the genus by the palp with dRTA very small with a dorsal spine-like projection, vRTA1 absent and by the massive U-shaped vRTA2 ( Rheims 2010c: 534, figs 9−10 ). Females resemble those of C. chamela sp. nov. , C. minax sp. nov. and C. sanpedrito sp. nov. by the large rounded copulatory openings (Figs 29, 75, 89, Rheims 2010c : 534, fig. 11). They are distinguished from these species by the tear-shaped median septum ( Rheims 2010c: 534, fig. 11 ). Description. See Rheims 2010c . Distribution. Southwestern United States to northwestern Mexico (Map 6).
